Daniel Libeskind AR'70 will be awarded the Dresden Peace Prize
Posted on: Friday, December 2
On Sunday, February 19, 2023, Daniel Libeskind AR’70 will receive the 14th International Peace Prize from the Friends of Dresden at the Semperoper, Dresden’s iconic opera house. Libeskind, who is the first architect to receive this award, was selected, according to the jury, for “a very special part of his work, which can be referred to as memorial architecture…[he has] created an appropriate architectural framework for remembering the victims of the Holocaust, war and terror in recent decades.”
In their award announcement, the Friends of Dresden further note that Libeskind’s “approach leaves no room for ignorance and relativisation. The form, the architecture itself sets the course for remembrance. Whether it is the Jewish Museum in Berlin, the 9/11 Memorial in New York, the Imperial War Museum in Manchester or the Holocaust Memorial in Amsterdam. His work also includes the Military History Museum in Dresden, whose architecture has become an anti-war museum and the most important place in Dresden for coming to terms with the consequences of militarism and wars.”
The Dresden Peace Prize has been awarded annually at the Semperoper since 2010. Previous recipients include Nobel Peace Prize laureate Mikhail Gorbachev, pianist and conductor Daniel Barenboim, war photographer James Nachtwey, former Soviet officer Stanislav Petrov, and journalist Daniel Ellsberg.

EXHIBITION
Leong Leong: Flow State
3rd Floor Hallway Gallery | On View November 29 through December 9
The term “flow state,” popularized in the West by the psychologist Mihály Csíkszentmihályi, is a state of concentration and complete absorption also known as being “in the zone.” During flow state—which is often characterized by a state of mind in which all of one’s attention is devoted to a single task—slower, conscious processing decreases, and faster, subconscious processing increases. The outcome is a fluid sequence of actions and decisive clarity in complex situations—a porosity between the experience of oneself and one's environment.
This exhibition presents the work of Leong Leong, an internationally recognized, New York-based architecture and design practice. It is a collection of twenty-three in-progress and completed works produced over the past thirteen years at a variety of scales, from urban housing to everyday objects. Through an ongoing interest in working with legible forms and ambiguous materialities, we seek to create spaces that render moments of coherence and invite curiosity. Working as designers and thought partners, we believe that architecture is a transformative act of imagination and care.
Open to current Cooper Union students, faculty, and staff.
